[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you know you are depressed.

Have you always had feelings of depression on some level, or do you think this is 100% situational?

I think your situation is a little unique becase you do not have children and you are not single either. If you were single, you would find people to party with, if you had kids there are zillions of mom support groups. You are not in your party stage any longer and do not have kids.

I don't really think I'm depressed, and my therapist (who I saw for a few months recently) did not think that either.  I believe this is 100% situational.  DH and I recently went to Europe on vacation, and I was so happy and felt so good the entire time.  But now we're back to reality and 80 hour work weeks and extreme loneliness.  So I really do think this is situational, but not having any family anywhere nearby does not help (I see my family once a year).  And only having a few friends and no social circle to speak of doesn't help either.

DH and I often talk about how we are in an odd social niche, just as you say--i.e. married but no kids.[/quote]
